Silicon is the base material of a solar cell. Quartz glass is used to house the silicon wafer and protect from weather. Regular glass will not work as well, because the wavelength needed to generate power does not penetrate glass as well as quartz.
i have no idea, figure it out yourself !

You can put solar panels on your roof to generate electricity from the sun. This can be stored in batteries or fed back into the grid.
sunlight and photovoltaic panels (solar cells/panels) also electronic power inverters to change the DC from the panels into AC to send to the power grid.
Solar panels are good for relatively low-power applications where getting a supply from the grid would be costly or difficult. For example, remote buildings, signs, temporary or mobile equipment. In residential applications, however, compared to the cost of electricity from the grid, the power generated by solar panels is not sufficient to pay for the cost of the panels and their installation.

Solar panels do not store energy themselves. They convert sunlight into electricity, which can then be stored in batteries or fed back into the grid for later use. Additional equipment such as batteries or grid tie-in systems are needed to store the electricity generated by solar panels.
Solar panels don’t store energy on their own they only generate electricity from sunlight. If you want to use solar power at night or during outages, then yes, you need solar batteries to store that daytime energy. In grid-tie systems batteries are optional, but in off-grid setups they’re essential for reliable power. You can view detailed specifications of solar batteries at Off Grid Store or Renogy.
You get the obvious benefits of reduced dependance on the grid and therefore lower utility bills.
it should face the sun so it can absorb the energy and light
If someone installs solar panels on their home then they will benefit from cheaper energy when the weather is good. They will also get a rebate sometimes on their power bills if they generate enough power to feed back into the grid.
Solar Panels Are Very Easy to Install. Tying Them to a system of batteries and/or your town's electrical grid is a little bit more tricky. See the related link listed below for a nice "how-to" video.
